Passage to Wonderland ~ Passages to Complete Your Day

The beauty of old age

May 25, 2022 • Mary Ito • Season 1 • Episode 24

This book profoundly moved and surprised me. I don’t recall reading a novel in which old age is depicted with such tenderness, sensitivity and passion.

Not surprisingly, this book has received many honours including being short listed for a Governor General’s Literary Award.

It was difficult to choose just one excerpt from And The Birds Rained Down by Jocelyn Saucier, beautifully translated by Rhonda Mullins. I hope you enjoy it.
